Your correspondent who signs himself "Berean" in your issue of March 26, in commenting upon my letter, correctly emphasizes the fact that faith in the patient is an asset in the work of spiritual healing. But if only those who have faith can be healed, then God's blessing is for some and not for all. Yet we read in the Bible that "God is no respecter of persons."

Many who went to Christ Jesus over nineteen hundred years ago doubtless possessed faith, as is evidenced by the wondrous works which he performed; but there must have been others who did not possess this quality of faith, and yet he healed them.

It is not enough to have faith in the laws of mathematics: to avail ourselves of them we must understand them. The Christian Science practitioners, understanding somewhat of God's law and His willingness and ability to heal and save, are often able to help those who come to them who are without faith in anything, and try Christian Science as a last resort.
